My passion for creating, networking, writing and brand building made pursing a career in PR an obvious decision. Upon obtaining a degree in Communication Studies at Loyola Marymount University, I devoted my time to internships in PR that were fashion and beauty focused.</p><p>I live my life with my feet planted firmly in the sky and believe that anything can be achieved as long as you work hard for it!</p><p><a href="http://twitter.com/taryndeee">@TarynDeee</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>[ibimage==27553==Small==none==self==ibimage_align-left]</p><p><strong>Blake Jamieson&nbsp;</strong>(Director of Social Media)</p><p>When I’m not surfing, chances are I’m at a social media conference expanding my skill-set, or developing an engaging community for my clients. My approach to social media is far from subtle. I welcome a challenge and enjoy taking a small online presence and expanding it by utilizing tasteful and creative techniques.</p><p>A Facebook page I created from scratch was named in the Top 10 SMB Facebook pages of 2012. This success catapulted me onto the social media map, landing me speaking engagements from LA to NYC.&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://twitter.com/blakejamieson">@BlakeJamieson</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>[ibimage==27558==Small==none==self==ibimage_align-left]</p><p><strong>Emily Simarski&nbsp;</strong>(Account Manager)</p><p>​With a passion for adventure, networking and creating, I pursued PR to put it into practice for the things I love most: fashion, entertainment, fitness and health. After graduating from Arizona State University with a B.A. in Public Relations, I made the move over to Santa Monica and worked for a tech PR firm before joining LA's largest fashion style house, Chic Little Devil Stylehouse. Throughout my time as Account Manager at CLD, I handled traditional PR, social media, as well as event planning and management.</p><p>Notably I planned and executed one of the largest LA Fashion Week 2012 events for my client LA-based Gypsy Junkies.​&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://twitter.com/emilysimarski">@EmilySimarski</a></p><p>[ibimage==27554==Small==none==self==ibimage_align-left]</p><p><strong>Heather Bothwell</strong> (Social Media Strategist)</p><p>I consistently hold a strong emphasis in branding and identifying a brand’s voice. Previously working in the fashion industry as a designer, she developed a knack for creative directing, blogging and designing visually interesting graphics to give a company a cohesive style. I believe that in the life cycle of Social Media everything is reliant upon great content sparking engagement between a company and their followers. We must allow ourselves to think outside of the box in order to make a lasting presence. &nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://twitter.com/heatherbothwell">@HeatherBothwell</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>[ibimage==27555==Small==none==self==ibimage_align-left]</p><p><strong>Louise Miclat&nbsp;</strong>(Jr. Publicist/Events Specialist)</p><p>​Ideas are the backbone of Public Relations, and in this business I find myself being continually inspired by the dreamers and risk-takers who've&nbsp; crafted these ideas. This is why I'm passionate about PR, specifically my role as Event Coordinator at 30 Miles North. Coordinating events affords me the privilege of exposing our client's brilliant ideas through planning and producing events reflexive of their unique talent and unmatched creativity. This is the reason why events have been a passion of mine for over six years. My experience with Stone + Cloth, The Main Barre, Girls in Tech LA and Project Ethos have not only enhanced my passion for events, but have enabled me to establish myself as an industry professional in the process.&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://twitter.com/louisemiclat">@LouiseMiclat</a></p>
